similar to: Expression Interpolation and ActiveRecord relationships

I believe it used to be possible to interpolate values into associations'' conditions with single quotes, but it isn''t anymore. has_many :widgets, :conditions => ''brand_id = #{brand_id}'' Anyone else remember that? It seems to have been snuffed out in changeset 3897 with the removal of interpolate_sql(@conditions) Was the change (and the fact that it

How can I ask ActiveRecord to make it''s "has_many" code to work on some arbitrary relationship between two tables? ie neither field is a primary key The situation is that I am writing a Postfix management application and one of the tables to manage is the "alias" table. My primary key in the "mailbox" table is "id", but the alias table is just

I''m sure there''s something right under my nose that I''m missing. I have two tables with two parallel one-to-many relationships. I wish to use the :finder_sql parameter to essentially ''or'' the two foreign keys. What isn''t working for me is performing a ''sub-search''. Let''s say the tables are "stores" and

Does anyone know how to do the following? I have 3 different AR classes that all map to the same table. The only difference between this AR classes is that they should only return record that match a certain condition. For example, Foo should only return records from table ''list'' that follow the condition ftype="foo", where as Bar, on the other hand, should only

I''m using activerecord outside of rails and find_first generates sql that postgresql doesnt'' like. This is rails 1.1.4, with everything up to date via "gem update". This is the command line: ruby -rrubygems seca -c ../etc/seca.cnf cert --export 1 --format pkcs12 --key root.key >root.pfx This is the error: (PGError: ERROR: argument of WHERE must be type

Hi, I ve defined the following relation in one of my models with a dynamic where condition: has_one :selection, :foreign_key => ''object_id'', :conditions => ''selection_type = 1 and account_id = # {self.send(:account_id)}'' That works perfect, however when I try to eager load that relation I am getting the following error when doing a

First of all, I love Ruby on Rails. I have an intermediate understanding of PHP, JavaScript, DOM and CSS, and that''s the extent of my programming experience. I''m developing an online game''s web presence with another colleague. We''re the only two technical guys on a team of +10 content developers. So, baring all that in mind, here are my questions with a

3 tables. item, brand, commercial item -------- id name brand_id name brand --------- id name commercial ---------- id item_id The idea is that a commercial will have one item. each item will have brand. and a brand may have zero to many items. I can''t figure out how to make the relationships for my models. Eventually, i''d like to be able to show a brand name from a

I never would have figured this out in many moons: has_many :subscribers, :class_name => "Person", :finder_sql => ''SELECT DISTINCT people.* '' + ''FROM people p, post_subscriptions ps '' + ''WHERE ps.post_id = #{id} AND ps.person_id = p.id '' + ''ORDER BY p.first_name'' Variable

I''m new to ruby and rails and as a result am a bit lost on implementing a one to many relationship. In my DB I have 2 tables contents and locations, contents contains the foreign key location_id. I generated a content and a location model using rails scripts and then edited the models as follows class Content < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :location end class Location <

So I''ve worked through Agile Web Development with Rails and I''m now trying my first little app to get into the swing of things. Its a task tracking app where people can create tasks and assign them to others, and also log time against the tasks. I''m having trouble working out the model relationships. This is what I''ve got so far, but its not right as

This is my first rails app with a legacy database and I''m having a terrible time getting the models set up correctly. I have an order table that has a primary field named order_number. I have a name table with a primary of item_number. These two tables are liked by the item_number and the order_number, but not as you might think. If the order_number is 2500, then each entry in

Hello, In a model I have: has_many :things, :finder_sql => '' select * from other_things '' + '' where id = #{id} '' When I do MyClass.find(:all, :include => :things) I get a weird error: from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:120:in

Dears, [Rails 1.0.0] I''m working with a legacy schema, and around my 20+ models i''ve used some AR constructs. They are based on a finder_sql doing some dirty sql and using #{id} from the ''pivot'' model for extracting data in other tables. like : class Division < ActiveRecord::Base set_table_name "legacy_division" set_primary_key

Guys, I have a need to support as has_many/belongs_to relationship on a legacy(kind of) schema. The reason I say kind of is that the schema does have "id" columns that are used in many associations, but this particular has_many/belongs_to association needs to support different ones. I''ve attached to code at the end of this email. Suffice it to say I need to use the standard

I can submit a patch, but wanted to confirm I''m looking at this right... The docs indicate that if you specify a has_many association with :finder_sql, but no :counter_sql, it constructs the appropriate counter sql by substituting the SELECT clause. But has_many_association.rb doesn''t seem to do that -- it just passes Base#count_by_sql the finder_sql, which doesn''t

I''ve got an order model that stores order data. One piece of data is a credit card type, which is a digit 1,2 or 3. I have a cardType model that has an id, shortName and LongName for the credit card merchant (visa, mastercard, amex). I want to be able to say: order.cardType.shortName, but can''t seem to get has_one working. It works with has_many and a finder_sql statement on

Hi all, My question is somewhat complicated, but bear with me. My project has a number of models: User, Program, and Team. Users belong to multiple Programs. Programs have multiple teams, but Teams belong to one program. For each Program a User belongs to, he can belong to multiple Teams. (Think of this in an athletic context where users are athletes, programs are universities). So my

I am very confused about where to put the belongs_to and the has_one (and other relationship identifiers). I have read the RDoc and the agile book many times about this and I think i still see it backwards. Let me outline my app so you have an understanding... I have 2 tables: Schools { id, school_name, address_id } and Addresses { street1, street2, city, state, zip, country } *** this
